The Marinid sources simply refer to white as the dynasty's colour."/"The naming of the Marinid palatine city, Madīnat al-Bayḍā', the White City, reflects their use of white as a dynastic colour which, of course, contrasted with the naming of the Nasrid capital, Madinat al-Ḥamra', the Red City, and their flag, described as vermilion with Arabic inscriptions in gold."

The white standard was an old Merinid tradition bestowed by the sultan upon faithful commanders. But, as a king in his own right, and in eschewing the familiar green of Islam, Mohammad ash-Shaykh made it look so very new."

Al-Qalqashandi mentioned white flags in two places, the first of which was when he spoke about the Almohad flag in Tunisia, and he stated that: It was a white flag called the Victorious Flag, and it was raised in front of their sultan when riding it for the Eid prayers or for travel by the slaves of the Makhzen (who are the common people of the country and the people of the markets). The second of them is when he talked about the sultanate’s emblem among the kings of the Banu Abd al-Haqq of the Banu Marin in Morocco, or when their sultan went out to travel, and he mentioned it in it. It includes a white flag made of silk with verses from the Qur’an written in gold at the top of the circle.
